Despite their 2-0 win against La Spezia (13th), Juventus are still not convincing with their game, despite already rising to 4th place in the standings, while Napoli and Lazio, who had the chance to equal leader Roma, did not go beyond two draws on matchday 4 of Serie A.
The Juventinos promised them very happy when Dusan Vlahovic opened the scoring after 8 minutes with a direct free kick from 20 meters that he placed far from the reach of the rival goalkeeper.
But, practically, that great goal from the Serbian was the only thing that stood out in the team’s attack that Massimiliano Allegri trains, who is having a hard time starting this course.
Juventus fell into the trap of the locked game that La Spezia proposed and he did not manage to sentence until the discount, when the Polish Arkadiusz Milik, who arrived in Turin a few days ago on loan from Marseille, scored the second of a nice shot at half turn (90 + 2).
Although the ‘bianconero’ game is not yet convincing, the victory allows Juventus to climb positions in the qualifying table and above all gaining confidence ahead of the Champions League debut next week against Paris SG.
The negative news for the Piedmontese was the injury of their Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, who had to retire on a stretcher after twisting his ankle in a jump.
In Naples, the local team could not join Roma at the top of the table, by not going from a draw to a goal against Lecce.
Macedonian Eljif Elmas put the Neapolitans ahead in the 27th minutebut just four later Lorenzo Colombo equalized for Lecce.
With a goal from Manolo Gabbiadini in stoppage time (90+2), Sampdoria drew 1-1 with Lazio, preventing the team from the capital from being the leader along with their great rival, Roma, on matchday 4 of Serie A.
Before the Genoese goal, Ciro Immobile had advanced to the coaching team by Maurizio Sarri in the first half (21).
With these results, Juventus adds 8 points and equals Lazio, Naples and Milan, that on Tuesday he left two points against Sassuolo; with 9 is Inter and leads Roma with 10 points after beating bottom side Monza on Tuesday.
Atalanta and Torino, who meet on Thursday, are now the only teams that can match Roma.
